COMMENTS: The near-ultraviolet absorption cross sections have been measured at 223-293 K using Fourier transform spectroscopy at an instrumental resolution sufficiently high (1.00 cm-1 or approximately 0.011 nm at 330 nm)

300.0-357.5nm(2.5nm,int-c); i.e., high-resolution data averaged over the 2.5-nm intervals 300.0-302.5, 302.5-305.0,........., 355.0-357.5nm; first column: center of interval

The temperature dependence between T = 223 and 293 K can be calculated by the relation

σ(T) = A + B × (T - 273) = σ(273 K) + B × (T - 273) with the parameters:
